I can understand how Ash doesn't want Bayleef to tackle him everytime it tries to show affection. However, I think he was way too hard on Bayleef. Bayleef wasn't even charging towards him, it was just casually walking probably to help stop Totodile from dancing. I thought that it was sad to see Bayleef reject Ash when he finds it at the old lady's garden. I also thought that it was cute to see Bayleef play with Skiploom and Bellossom. I am glad Ash and Bayleef made up, because Ash could not afford to let another strong pokemon go.

I <3 May.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

At least Bayleef learned Body Slam, which would come in handy later on in future Pokemon battles from the look of things. Bayleef was annoying, I'm not upset that Ash was being a little mean to it at all. Sometimes that's the only way someone will learn a lesson. Overall, almost Filler, but Bayleef's role saved this episode from such a fate. I didn't think much of it. 3/10.

Yeah Ash was a bit too harsh on Bayleef, she didn't know her own strength and didn't need to be yelled at. Aleast Ash and Bayleef works it out later, Ash showed that he was sorry about it and tried saving her and the other Pokemon.

Claims Amber Benson as Bishie
United we stand but separated we fall
As of April 18th, 2015, I met, hugged, took a selfie and a video with Amber Benson. This signature stands to the days where I wished for it, and that dream became reality.

One of the best episodes. 10/10, if it was possible higher than 10/10.

Bayleef had no mean intentions and only wants to show her love to Ash.

It was odd, but nice to see Bayleef, normally a character who adores Ash being angry at him.

I've always felt sorry for Chikorita/Bayleef.

Bayleef really loves Ash. Also, the Whirl Islands episodes (Bayleef stayed with Prof. Oak for a while to make room for Kingler) showed it. Ash should've taken her to Hoenn and Sinnoh. Now we never see Bayleef, crying in Oaks laboratory waiting for Ash.

But Ash learned from this. But might Bayleef ever evolve into a Meganium (with Body Slam), how does Meganium have to hug/"love-tackle" Ash?

This episode was ok... Ash was really mean to Bayleef and treated her in the wrong way for trying to show affection. I'm glad he finally realized what he did was wrong and they finally made things right in the end. Great to see Bayleef learn Body Slam.

Ash was so mean to Bayleef, I don't want to see that side of Ash again.
Touching episode at the end though.

He definatly was! On topic I liked how Brock was camparing Bayleaf to a human girl. After all the bond Between Pokemon and trainer can Trancend much grater lengths the what the writers will allow. Just use your imagination...

Well, I think the writers were smart to spend a episode on a Pokémon that just got evolved and giving it character development immediately. I do think that Ash was a little jerk-ish in this episode and he should have known already how Chikorita (or Bayleef now) was affectionate of him. But I do just like to see Bayleef - Ash's Johto Pokémon still rank highly in my favorite ones and especially Bayleef.

A good episode, I started crying when Ash told Bayleef "Now get away from me & stay away from me!" because I knew it hurt Bayleef, it was crying too. Ash was too abrasive towards it imo. Then when Bayleef finally understood, Ash thought it was going to tackle him again when it wasn't even charging towards him, it was just walking casually. I'm glad he finally realized what he did was wrong and apologized by making things right in the end.

I think this episode made me like Bayleef a lot more. I didn't like how Ash yelled at her, he should have reminded that Chikorita did that all the time. But, after learning Body Slam like that, I guess all Pokemon can learn Body Slam then. xD

I like this episode because there are plenty of twist and turns. Start from Satoshi telling Bayleaf off for her over reacted Tackle then he did not realise that will hurt her. The mecha Bayleaf is one of the best in the whole series and it was lucky that Satoshi did not get thrown out while Nyarth wanted to get rid of him.
